New England Book Artists are pleased to share 4 years of their annual Zine Swaps.
These zines are micro-magazines that are self-published, small editions produced by artists, writers and fans of personally chosen content. Originating in the 1940s and ‘50s as “fanzines” by starstruck fans as a means of expressing of their interests in celebrities of the time. They were quickly embraced by social and political movements to provide an inexpensive, low-tech tool to support their opposition campaigns. The current zine scene continues to expand with more and more genres from “perzines”, personal and memoir-based zines to body-image positive zines, cat zines, and DYI zines that share zinesters’ knowledge of art techniques, survival skills, tips for better living, and more. Join us for a hands-on reception to read the collections and to meet some of NEBA’s zinesters.
